This looks very trappy and while WEEBILL was very disappointing at Leicester last time, he can boast a fair record at this level and is just about the most persuasive option. Al Zaraqaan drops in grade fitted with blinkers and is a threat while the market may help assess whether Us And Them retains any ability.
